I don’t think it’s entirely one way either. Someone mentioned malaria-afflicted test takers before. Of course better healthcare leads to lower disease load, which leads to higher I…

I suspect accuracy of any IQ test falls off the further you get from 100 in either direction, so I’m not married to any global IQ dataset in particular. But they all show the same …

I don't get it. Is the author surprised that the world figurehead of being anti-religion is not a fan of Islam, which is a religion? Has he not spoken against any other religions, …

And the subsequent PSOE admins show precisely why Spain had to be a dictatorship.

The purpose of a system is what it does. Another one that the Europeans like to this effect is unrealized capital gains tax, to make sure you never make it to the unicorn stage.

Who on earth are those 1.7% men who go for "obstetric and gynaecological devices"? Are they accompanying their wives, end up fainting during the procedures, hit their heads and hav…

Why don't the anti-underground disposal crowd advocate more for long term dry cask storage where monitoring and maintenance is both cheap and easy?

If you don't want to keep women chained to their desks and away from children, then what's the problem?

Paying for a few security guards to sit next to the dry casks and point out that you'd better not crack them open and snort the contents for 50,000 generations will be peanuts comp…

This was my impression as well, both watching Smarter Every Day and visiting a nuclear power plant myself and taking the tour. Yes, safety is important, but I think they're far int…

What was I supposed to think you were objecting to besides what I wrote? So you admit that you are just making things up to be angry about.

You still haven’t explained what you think I have on my hard drives.

It’s now misogynistic and repulsive to self-determination to and social equity to let women have maternity leave and spend time with their children? You American tech bros are abso…

What criticism, calling them "regressive troglodyte opinions" without any substantiation? You're not trying to have an argument, you're just trying to start a flame war.

I think you're holding it wrong, because that's a .webp image, not a .webm video.

What if furthering the human species through the use of stable two-parent households happens to be my kink? You wouldn't kink shame, would you? It will always be funny to me how li…

I used Avid VideoShop back in the day for that, which was Avid's consumer level offering. But I still appreciated being able to copy and paste from Movie Player when I just needed …

I thought it was just trading more download for less upload when last mile bandwidth was limited by re-using old POTS copper. Wasn't dialup largely asymmetric too? I don't think p2…

But I don't want more tools. I want to be able to view a video on YouTube, shift-scrub to select a short clip, hit copy, then go over to X, write some commentary, and hit paste. I …

Of course only a pedophile would even think of having intercourse with a woman who has not yet entered menopause. I should probably also get the lethal injection for being a produc…

Cinepak was one such codec and that could be arbitrarily seeked and copied just fine, even in the early 90s, if the player was competently implemented. It's just a matter of comput…

What do you think I have on my hard drives? I'm genuinely confused by that comment.

No, it's also iOS that's arbitrarily restricting it. I opened a bare .webm directly in Safari and got nothing on long press and nothing in any of the control widgets to save it.
